suspected criminals with your stolen items.This is according to the Constantia Village

However, they believe it can also assist intracking people who may have gone missing,who may have hurt themselves and is una-ble to make contact with anyone or just totrack a lost item.

“We can track anything that has a trackerinstalled, obviously the owner of the itemsmust know their username and passwordand we can assist them,” says a member ofCVIC who asked not to be named.

Last year CVIC assisted in tracking a sto-len car through a cellphone. According tothe team the victim, an elderly lady, arrivedat her home in Bergvliet and got out of thevehicle to open her gate when a man jumpedin and drove off with her vehicle.

“However, the woman had left her hand-bag with her cellphone in the boot of her ve-hicle and through the cellphone, togetherwith police, her belongings and car were re-covered 25 minutes later in Gugulethu by po-lice,” says the CVIC member.

AGREEMENT

Cape Town gets film boostNICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

An agreement between the film industryand the national home affairs depart-ment has smoothed the way for inter-

national business.The agreement nowmakes it easier for in-

ternational film teams to travel to the coun-try, explains Monica Rorvik, head of FilmPromotion atWesgro, theWestern Cape’s of-ficial tourism, trade and investment promo-tion agency.The agreement takes into consideration

two types of travellers to South Africa: theoversight group – which consists of client,agency and production company personnel –and the specialist group – which comprises ofactors, models, directors, technicians and artdepartments.“According to the agreement, the oversight

group fromvisa exempt countrieswill nowbeable to travel to South Africa without havingto pre-apply at a South African Embassy.“The specialist groupwill still need to apply

in advance to the South African Embassy butthe requirements have been streamlined,”Rorvik says.

“We are delighted with the outcomereached with the Department of Home Af-fairs. The new agreement is a positive forus and goes a long way in facilitating thepromotion and growth of the film indus-try.”The Cape FilmCommission has also wel-

comed the announcement, says CEO DenisLille.The film industry in Cape Town is quite

a lucrative industry for local entrepre-neurs, small businesses and the local econ-omy, says Tourism, Events and EconomicDevelopment acting executive directorTeral Cullen.“This booming industry ensures valua-

ble skills transfer from international crewsto our local crews, which is critical to thefuture sustainability of the industry,” shesays. Last year, 10 309 film bookings weremade, with 6 741 permits being issued forvarious shoots, Cullen says.“In the current tough global economic

environment, the country needs to remaincompetitive in asmany sectors as possible.“The film production sector adds value

to a wide range ofadditional sectors in the local economy bycreating a demand for products and servic-es – with particularly strong links to thetourism sector.“Cape Town is a popular filming location

offering good natural lighting and provid-ing value-addedmarketing and investmentcollateral for the city and the country,” shefurther explains.Cullen also say the local film industry

has over the past three years created morethan 35 000 jobs and contributed approxi-mately R5bn to the economy.She further explains it is a highly com-

petitive industry globally.

EDUCATION

High fives for matriculantsASTRID FEBRUARIE

@FebAstrid

Matriculants across the province cele-brated their success in the NationalSenior Certificate (NSC) exams last

week.The NSC examination results were re-

leased on Tuesday 6 January.The Western Cape is the only province

where all education districts have achieveda pass rate of over 80%.

Rondebosch Boys’ High School’s matricclass of 2014 have achieved record-breakingresults.

As a group they achieved 456 subject A’s,a 100% pass rate, 97% university entranceand record numbers of A’s for English (45)and Mathematics (58).

The top 10 candidates all achieved above95% for Mathematics with Imaad Daviesscoring 100%.

While 66% of the Mathematics classachieved above a B-aggregate with an over-all average of 75%.

Rondebosch High principal Shaun Simp-son says this result affirmsRondebosch’s po-sition as a “top mathematics school”.

“I am absolutely thrilled at the results.The pupils worked extremely hard and I amvery proud of their results,” he says.

A number of subjects achieved an averageof over 80%which includesAccounting,Mu-sic, Art and Life Orientation.

Simpson further says as a group the mat-rics of 2014 have the set the bar very highfor the next generation of young men to fol-low.

“Clearly such excellent results stem fromthe boys’ hard work, parents’ unwaveringsupport, dedicated teaching and thewonder-

ful educational community that is Ronde-bosch. We know these boys will fly higherand wider as they make their way in theworld,” he says.

Bishops achieved a 100%pass rate. For theclass of 2014, there were 149 pupils whowrote the examinations and all of thempassed.

Groote Schuur High School achieved a94.4% pass rate. There were 126 pupils whowrote the examinations, but only 119 passed.

Thandokhulu Secondary School showed aslight decrease in their results. According tothe results, the school obtained a 88.0% passrate in 2013whichdecreased to 85.2%in2014.

Other schools which achieved 100% pass

rates includes Rustenburg Girls, Herschellas well as Claremont High School.

St George’s Grammar School achieved a100%pass rate, with 90%of the students get-ting bachelor passes.

A total of 89 distinctions were achieved,with topperformersbeingRobinVisserwithnine distinctions (of which six subjects’marks were over 90%) and Keenan Wongwith seven distinctions (two subject marksabove 90%).

While Pierre Bosch, Ameerah Camroodi-en, Joshua Chapple, Juliet Corder, StormJohnson andAslamKhanall got five distinc-tions each and Quanita Figueira, JaymeeFowler and Nicholas Leon each got four dis-

tinctions.Thirty of the class of 40 students achieved

one or more distinctions. Class averagesabove 70% were achieved in nine of the 14subjects offered by the school.

Kurt Hahn founder of the Round SquareAssociation of Schools says the Class of 2014has really done themselves (and the school)proud.”

Provincial Minister of education DebbieSchäfer said while the vast majority of can-didates are celebrating their success in theNSC, there are candidates that did not re-ceive the results that they had hoped toachieve.

“The number of candidates qualifying forsupplementary examinations is over 7 000.This means that over 97% of the candidatesin the province either passed the examina-tion, or qualified to write a supplementaryexamination. This provides these candi-dates with a wonderful opportunity to nowpass their NSC,” she says.

Schäfer further said in all examinations,stress and emotions can get to some candi-dates, causing them to ‘slip-up’ or not per-form their best, therefore, a second chanceto complete the NSC requirements success-fully should not be ignored.

“I strongly encourage these candidates tomake use of this opportunity,” she says.

“For the less than 3% of learners who didnot pass their NSC or qualify for a supple-mentary, there is still the opportunity to ap-ply to write the 2015 NSC. I would like to en-courage these candidates to re-apply towritethe 2015 NSC.”

According to a statement from the depart-ment the closing date for applications towrite theFebruary andMarch supplementa-ry examination is Monday 26 January.

SUCCESS: St George's Grammar School Class of 2014 were in high spirits when they receivedthe news of the 100% pass rate the class achieved. Some the top performers are from left,Aslam Khan and Pierre Bosch, with five distinctions each, Keenan Wong who got sevendistinctions and Ameerah Camroodien, with five distinctions. PHOTO: SUPPLIED

TOURISM

New app gives visitorsinsight into Cape winelandsA new app will have you sipping away

at some of Cape Town’s finest wines.The app, created by consumer en-

gagement agency iKineo, aims to maxim-ise the experience of tourists visiting thewinelands.The free app offers a powerful, sophisti-

cated search engine, giving the end userthe perfect guide to the winelands, ex-plains iKineo’s Marthinus Botha.“You can search by keywords, region

and filters andwhether you are looking fora wine farm with a fireplace for winterwarmth or a family-friendly, award-win-ning restaurant in a specific area, the appwill give you exactly what you need,”Botha says. Each wine farm’s profile pagein the app, called Sideways, contains eve-rything from opening times to availablewines and GPS co-ordinates that link toyour smartphone’s own navigation soft-ware.“Sideways guides visitors to instantly

find the perfect adventure, while simulta-neously boosting the profile of the wine-lands as a world class destination to localand international tourists alike,” Bothasays.The app will allow visitors to discover

the Cape Winelands with ease, believesJudy Lain, chief marketing officer forWesgro, the Western Cape’s official Tour-ism Trade and Investment Promotionagency.“Theapp isnot onlydesigned todiscover

wine farms and restaurants. It gives tour-ists information needed to discover adven-ture activities like running or cyclingtrails or the best picnic or sundownerspots,” she says.The app is currently available for down-

load on iPhone devices and will be availa-ble onGoogle Play forAndroid devices ear-ly this year.Cape Town Tourism executive market-

ing manager Velma Corcoran says the

trend of accessing information on mobiledevices is drastically increasing amongtravellers and creating useful apps to meetthis growing need is crucial.“This app will hopefully make the wine-

lands even easier to navigate and explore,all at the touch of a button,” she says.“Wehave seen people accessing the Cape

Town Tourism website from a mobile de-vice increase by almost 100% year on yearand this trend is consistent with what oth-er tourism boards are experiencing global-ly.”With this in mind, Cape Town Tourism

has announced a number of digital initia-tives to keep upwith the trends. The organ-isation is currently working on a mobileapp – the first one of its kind created by adestination marketing agency – that willbe populated with experiences and travelideas recommended by locals only.CEO Enver Duminy says: “A global

trend in travel is for visitors towant direct,

authentic experiences; immersing them-selves in local culture. There is no betterguide than a local who can share all thebest ideas about what to do and where togo. We are going out to locals and askingthem for their suggestions sowe can curatethat into a central resource for our visi-tors.”Cape Town Tourism also recently

launched a new membership communica-tor widget. The app gives all Cape TownTourism members up to the minute newson tourism-related matters, includingnews updates, invitations to events, safetyalerts and research reports.Corcoran also says research has shown

that soonmore timewill be spent onmobiledevices and 90% of users in South Africaand Nigeria are accessing Facebookthrough their mobile devices. “A mobilestrategy should not be seen as a channel ortechnology but as away of thinking and ap-proaching all new initiatives”.

HAVE YOUR SAY!PROVISION OF PROFESSIONAL

SERVICES: DESIGN ANDCONSTRUCTION OF PHASE 2AINFRASTRUCTURE: TRUNK AND

FEEDER (EAST ANDWEST)(Tender no. 59C/2014/15)The 2014/2015 festive season will go

down as one of the safest on recordfor the City’s beaches.

This as the number of drowning inci-dents dropped significantly whencompared with the previous festiveseason.

Three drowning incidents were re-corded on beaches for the festive season,between September 2014 and January2015, compared to 18 drowning incidentsover the same period in 2013/2014.

With thousands of people on the City’sbeaches over the festive season, this isan extraordinary feat, says City of CapeTown Sport, Recreation and AmenitiesDepartment director Gert Bam.

“We are pleased that the combined ef-forts of all role players have yielded suchpositive results.

The department’s extensive summersafety campaign helped to educate mem-bers of the public on basic safety tips toobserve when on the beaches.

In addition, law enforcement officershave been highly visible and have confis-cated a substantial amount of alcohol,which helped to reduce the number of in-cidents associated with intoxication,” hesays.

The decrease in the number of drown-ing incidents is also reflective of thequality of the lifeguard service providedby Lifesaving Western Province andtheir associated lifesaving clubs – partic-ularly over the weekends around Christ-mas and New Year’s Day when a numberof people were assisted by the lifeguardson duty, Bam says.

“Despite the drastic drop, every

drowning incident is one too many andeach incident is documented and re-viewed to ensure that further precau-tions are taken to prevent such inci-dents from happening in the future,” hesays.

“Members of the public are remindedto swim only in designated swimming ar-eas indicated by flags Law Enforcementofficers patrolling beaches to assist inensuring that people swim only in desig-nated areas.

“We ask that all people respect the in-structions of both lifeguards and LawEnforcement officers and also reportany irresponsible behaviour in thewater, such as people swimming offthe rocks, so that they can keep peoplesafe.”

Beachgoers should keep the followingsafety tips in mind:

• Always swim between the red andyellow flags. These indicate safe, super-vised swimming areas. An area outsideof these flags could have dangerous ripcurrents and tides.

• Only swim in areas where other peo-ple are present. Swim in groups and ad-vise friends or family when you go swim-ming.

• If you find yourself in trouble, raiseyour arm and wave to attract the life-guard’s attention.

Try not to panic, as this will make youtired.

• If you see someone in trouble in thesea, alert the lifeguards or find trainedhelp.

Do not put your own life in danger aswell.

Health tips for childrenIn the last-minute rush tomake sure your child hastheir books, pencils andschool uniform ready, don’tforget to add a health check-up to your to-do list.

The City of Cape Town’sHealth Directorate hasurged parents to add healthchecks to the list of ‘back-to-school’ preparations fortheir children, includingvaccinations.

According to the NationalChildhood ImmunisationSchedule, children are giventhe tetanus and reducedstrength of diphtheria vac-cine (Td Vaccine) at the ageof six, followed by anotherround at the age of 12, ex-plains the City’s MayoralCommittee member forHealth Benedicta Van Min-nen.

“I want to urge parents toensure that their childrenreceive these vaccinations,which are administered viaan injection in their upperarm.

“Prevention is alwaysbetter than cure.

“Also, our clinics offer

these immunisations free ofcharge.

“We still have a few daysleft before the academic yearstarts, so now is as good atime as any to get the vacci-nations done for childrenwho need to get these shots,”she says.

City Health staff are alsowell placed to provide adviceon good nutrition, which is akey focus of the directorate’sawareness and educationprogramme, Van Minnensays.

“It makes sense to preventmore people from gettingsick, which is why we placesuch heavy emphasis on re-sponsible behaviour andgood nutrition.”

“Our staff can help parentswith advice on finding a bal-ance for their child’s lunch-box that will positively aidtheir growth and develop-ment, but also keep themhealthy. “Child obesity is agrave concern around theworld, so we need to do eve-rything possible to promotehealthy eating habits and ex-ercise,” she says.

St Martin’s stun YankeesJOSEPH PILLAY

The second half of the WesternProvince Softball Federa-tion’s season resumed in all

earnest at Turfhall StadiumonSat-urday.

And while Falcons worked theirway to a hard-earned 6-4 victoryagainst a gutsy Kenfac Philliesside, Tantasport was equal to thetask in beating VOB 7-4.

St Martin’s, meanwhile, turnedthe tables in recording a shock 4-3win over arch-rivals WestridgeYankees from Mitchell’s Plain inthe Super League competition thathad many fans smiling from ear toear.

However, coachWayne May andhis Glenthorn-Athlone side, still

sporting an unbeaten run to date,were not in action but are well-placed at the top of the standingshaving won all of their nine gameswith a full quota of 18 points in thebag.

They are twopoints ahead of sec-ond-placed Falcons (16 points) whohave played ten matches to date.

Nonetheless, with St Martin’shaving downedWestridgeYankeesand causing the latter to suffertheir fourth defeat in ninematches– Saints have moved up the ladderto third position with 11 pointsfrom 10 assignments.

Head coach Natasha de Klerk’sYankees left it too late.

Trailing 4-0 at the top of the fifthinning,Yankees awoke fromadeepslumber and in the sixth batting

frame registered their first runs onthe scoreboard when Aimee-LeighCampbell, Glynis Koopman andNuraan Williams each crossed thehome plate.

However, the three runs werenot enough to salvage a point orturn defeat into victory. Yankeesis seemingly no longer the team tobeat in the league or the biggestname in the game.

Neither do they drive fear intoopposition teams, leading to anumber of hardcore softball fansquestioning whether the club willever return to their former gloryagain and challenge for the title.

Besides Saints pitcher LindsayDamon showing her mettle on themound, the highlight of theBishopLavis side’s well-deserved victory

was the solo circuit hit – the homerun belonging to Elderisha Lan-genhoven, who batted 1-1.

Langenhoven was ably support-ed by Nawaal Nacerodien, BonitaCloete (three bagger) each 1-2, Dan-ielle Ford andKimCloete (each 1-3)in which Saints smacked fivehits off Yankees pitcherMegan Ca-ble.

Cable in her sixth inning earnedfour strike outs, but also struggledto find the plate as she concededseven base-on-balls and the score-line could have been bigger had itbeen that Saints left seven strand-ed between bases.

However, Lindsay Damon heldher nerve and pitched a steadygame with a well marshalled fieldthat ably assisted her in almost

registering a shut-out victory toher name, considering that Yan-kees loaded the bases twice in thethird and sixth frame but could on-ly once score runs due to poor bat-ting.

Damon, in her six inning con-test, claimed two scalps and al-lowed threebase-on-ballswhile shegave up three scattered hits ofwhich Aimee-Lee Campbell,Glynis Koopman and RoxanneOhlsson fared best for Yankeeswith the bat.

Adding to the thrills and spills inthe Major League, StrandfonteinMets placed second on the log, beatBelhar Dolphins 11-0 while Aven-dale andNormies shared the spoils3-3 in an exciting and thrill-a-minute showdown.
